The Mets are getting Lindor and Carrasco for a package including Rosario, Gimenez, Greene, and Josh Wolf.  I would imagine the Indians want to play the better prospect, Gimenez.  What would it take to get Rosario for the O's?  Bad 2020 with 0 WAR, but a solid 2019 with a .755 OPS and 2.2 WAR.  Defensive numbers aren't as good as I had hoped.  Thoughts?

I don’t see why you would add Rosario as he is just average to below level shortstop who is arbitration eligible and expected to make 1.25-1.5 million this year.  If they are getting him I see more of

I’d rather play Martin full time than send any level prospect for a not so great SS who is entering arbitration. 
 

With that being said, I’d welcome the idea if we were to claim him and get him for nothing. 

Fair point.  I think I'd still rather see him over Martin, though.

For sure, yeah.  I'm not beating the drum for this guy or anything.  I have a good friend who is a Mets fan and he talks up Rosario a lot.  Just wanted to hear everyone's opinions.

He was worth close to 3 fWAR in 2019.  My guess is that was a little over his head and he is a 1-2 WAR player in a full season.  
 

If you could get him for a player like Jarrett or someone like that who is outside your top 30 (or even 2 players like that), I would probably be ok with it.  
 

But he doesn’t really jump off the page as really good at one thing, so he’s not someone I would be clamoring For.

If the Indians didn’t want Rosario, why was he included in the trade?

Probably because he's redundant on the Mets with Lindor, so they wanted to move him.  Maybe the Indians think they can get something if they flip him, or try him out in the middle with Gimenez.  The real gem of the trade was Gimenez for sure.

      Bring up Mayo already!!

      By sportsfan8703 · Posted

      We have an off day to give Mounty an extra days rest. We have an off day next Monday as well with the ASB looming. Mounty is close to making the ASG so I doubt he wants to hit the IL.  Meaning a RP would have to go for Mayo. I think we’re trying to keep Urias this season and move on from him in the offseason. Mayo is on target to be added as our extra player in September unless we have an injury.  It sure would be nice to bring Mayo up and let him get a ton of ABs to be ready for the playoffs.  At the end of the day, what’s worth more?  Urias as an insurance policy that shouldn’t get ABs in the playoffs, or developing Mayo that should get playoff ABs?

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      When Kremer comes back and if we get a #3 starter, would that help bolster the pen? You can move Suarez and Irvin/Povich into the pen.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By sportsfan8703 · Posted

      Those three starts were going against @NYY, @Hou, and Texas. He’s slated to go @Oak with an extra day of rest.  We have to differentiate between regular season SP and playoff SP. Just like how we have to do with regular season RP and playoff RP.  Irvin, Povich, Kremer, and Suarez, are fine options to get you through 162.  Burnes, and Grayson, are our playoff options right now. We need a game 2/3 SP. The playoff RP core looks to be Kimbrel, Cano, Webb, Coloumbe(if healthy), and Perez. It would be nice to add two arms to the playoff RPs.

      Melanie Newman: Bautista possibly back for September/October?

      I had thought Hell’s Bells was about trying to avoid your wife and family to watch O’s games.

      Optimal position player roster for second half and playoffs?

      By sportsfan8703 · Posted

      Westburg’s lack of lateral quickness has been pointed out there.  Then again, everyone will look less quick when compared to Mateo. I think Mayo’s more of a 3B/1B with us. Position versatility. That’s not a knock on him at 3B, but that we like players in different positions to match up. Mayo is no different.

      Who goes when Kremer comes up?

      By sportsfan8703 · Posted

      Irvin’s next start is scheduled for @ Oakland. As of right now, we’d be scheduled to have the back half of the rotation for the Yankees series right before the break. I could see us tinkering with the rotation so that we have Burnes and Grayson at least going vs the Yankees.  I could see us going with a 6 man rotation after the ASG. Especially if we were to make a trade for Scherzer.

      Thank you for your advocacy for Jackson on CF position.  My reasons almost same as yours .  Having said that , Jackson should also work on 2B .  There’s too many players and limited positions , ABs have to be rationed as well.  The upcoming deadline will likely reveal who’s staying and who’s leaving.  In the meantime , they should let Jackson heal any injuries and refine his positional skills
